Michel Desvigne

Michel Desvigne Paysagiste is responsible for the landscape. In
the interview, he explains how the industrial site Kanaal will be
transformed into a green area. He clarifies how nature will be the
element that both connects the different architectural developments
and at the same time provides a balance. French spoken with English
subtitles.

Atmosphere of unified diversity

The Kanaal Site is strongly marked by its colossal silo's and
massive buildings. To create a peaceful work and living environment
the industrial character is softened. In his well thought-out
landscape plan Michel Desvigne integrates offices, workshops,
residential and exhibition spaces and creates a unique atmosphere
of unified diversity by installing courtyards
and green plantations.

Desvigne makes sure the site seamlessly integrates with the
surrounding, by visually anchoring the Albert Canal and Stokerijstraat.
